British & Ireland Interlude - Ocean Princess Questions

[CruiseAdict218]

Sorry if the title is in correct if it is I'm on my phone.

 

Anyway I had two questions about this cruise:

 

1) Is the cruise done every year?, will it be avaible in 2012 for example?

 

2) Dublin is over night are there any excursions that have to do with the Titanic?

I believe this is the first year this cruise has been offered.

I also looked at this cruise and talked to Princess about it. They have offered it for at least the last two years and they expect to continue to offer it. There are no ship excursion related to the Titanic from Dublin. You can see the ship excursion at http://www.princess.com/find/shorexDetails.do?subnav=true&voyageCode=7117&tourCode=&resType=C&departurePort=&noOfCruiseDays=&noOfTourDays=&travelOrder=&bID=PCPB&airPortCode=&port=GR3&productCode=EUN071&departureDate=Aug+25%2C+2011&productDesc=Ireland+%26+Scotland+Interlude%3A+Roundtrip+Dover+-+7+Days

 

The late stay at Greenock is so that passengers can go to the Edinburgh Tattoo. Why don't you drop in the roll call thread and see what others are doing and ask about Titanic tours.

2) Dublin---are there any excursions that have to do with the Titanic?

 

 

Really, to my knowledge, not much to see there anymore. On a Princess tour we once took there, we passed a building and were told that the design work for the Titanic was done there.

 

If you want to see Titantic history, then you need to take a cruise that stops in Halifax, Canada.

If you are interested in the Titanic you need a cruise that visits Cobh (the port for trips to Cork, Ireland) Cobh (pronounced Cove) was the final departure point for the Titanic and there is a good exhibition centre at the harbour in the old railway station. If I remember correctly admission price was about 13 Euros.

I did that one on my first cruise, but thanks

I am sure you all know that the Titanic was built at Harland and Wolf in Belfast (N Ireland)
